Nintendo has published its maintenance schedule for the week of May 31, 2026, confirming a single maintenance window that affects the web-based Nintendo Store but not the Nintendo Switch eShop.
The announcement clarifies that the temporary outage applies to the online storefront accessed via web browsers and does not impact purchases or downloads made directly from Nintendo Switch consoles.
In journalistic terms, Nintendo's notification states that the Nintendo Store web site will be taken offline for approximately two hours beginning at 5 PM PT on June 1.
The company emphasized that this maintenance is limited to the web store and will not affect the eShop on Nintendo Switch systems.
Planned maintenance window (week of May 31, 2026):
- Pacific Time (PT): 5 PM (June 1) – 7 PM (June 1)
- Eastern Time (ET): 8 PM (June 1) – 10 PM (June 1)
- United Kingdom: 1 AM (June 2) – 3 AM (June 2)
- Continental Europe: 2 AM (June 2) – 4 AM (June 2)
This schedule represents a coordinated two-hour downtime across multiple time zones.
Gamers who usually access the Nintendo Store via desktop or mobile browsers should plan around these windows; players purchasing on Nintendo Switch consoles via the eShop will not be affected by this specific maintenance.
Nintendo regularly schedules brief maintenance periods for its online services, and the company provided this week's timing in advance to minimize disruption.
We will continue to monitor official updates and post any changes to the maintenance timetable.
If you rely on the Nintendo Store web site for purchases, wishlists, or account management, consider completing transactions before the listed start time in your region.
For console purchases, the eShop remains operational and should be used as an alternative during the web store outage.
For ongoing coverage, check our maintenance reports and official Nintendo communications.
We appreciate Nintendo's timely notice of the schedule and will update readers if further information becomes available.
